With some awesome road trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to experience all that Sodankyla, 30 miles away, has to offer. Sodankyla Old Church, Museum of Local History and Culture and Alariesto Galleria alone justify the drive out here. The locals are also likely to point you toward Rovaniemi, 40 miles away. If you can only find time for one attraction here, make sure it’s SantaPark. (But we’d also highly recommend Ounasvaara and Arktikum.)
